There is some evidence that, in the years 1981— 85, a simple name change resulted in a short-term increase in the price of certain business firms' stocks (relative to the prices of similar stocks). (See D. Horsky and P. Swyngedouw, "Does it pay to change your company's name? A stock market perspective," Marketing Science v.6 pp. 320— 35, 1987.) Suppose that, to test the profitability of name changes in the more recent market (the past five years), we analyze the stock prices of a large sample of corporations shortly after they changed names, and we find that the mean relative increase in stock price was about 0.76%, with a standard deviation of 0.12%. Suppose that this mean and standard deviation apply to the population of all companies that changed names during the past five years. Complete the following statements about the distribution of relative increases in stock price for all companies that changed names during the past five years. (a)According to Chebyshev's theorem,…

43. The U.S. government wants to determine whetherimmigrants should be tested for a contagious disease,and it is planning to base this decision on financialconsiderations. Assume that each immigrant who isallowed to enter the United States and has the diseasecosts the country $100,000. Also, assume that eachimmigrant who is allowed to enter the United Statesand does not have the disease will contribute $10,000to the national economy. Finally, assume that x percentof all potential immigrants have the disease. The U.S.government can choose to admit all immigrants, admitno immigrants, or test immigrants for the diseasebefore determining whether they should be admitted. Itcosts T dollars to test a person for the disease, and thetest result is either positive or negative. A person who does not have the disease always tests negative. However, 10% of all people who do have the disease testnegative. The government’s goal is to maximize theexpected net financial benefits per potential…

2) . In February 2021, the Chicago Tribune reported:“The overdose epidemic that has ravaged Chicago has not spared the nearby suburbs, some of which have death rates comparable to anything seen in the city, according to a report released this week by the Cook County Department of Public Health. ZIP codes in the towns of Worth, Broadview, Maywood, and Forest Park, areas that “have substantially lower median household incomes and higher poverty rates,” have been especially hard-hit, the report said.”In the article, they claimed that lower incomes were associated with higher overdose death rates and that overdose death rates are increasing over time. The data you have been analyzing wasn’t focused on Chicago, obviously. But do your results support the general gist of the statistical argument being made in this Tribune excerpt? Please address:• Do overdose death rates appear to be associated with per capita income (use scatterplot)?• Do overdose death rates appear to be increasing over…

Refer to Exercise 12 in Section 3.2. Assume that τ0 = 50 ± 1 MPa, w = 1.2 ± 0.1 mm, and k= 0.29 ± 0.05 mm−1.a) Estimate τ, and find the uncertainty in the estimate.b) Which would provide the greatest reduction in the uncertainty in τ: reducing the uncertainty in τ0 to 0.1 MPa, reducing the uncertainty in w to 0.01 mm, or reducing the uncertainty in k to 0.025 mm−1?c) A new, somewhat more expensive process would allow both τ0 and w to be measured with negligible uncertainty. Is it worthwhile to implement the process? Explain.

A multinational corporation is considering starting a subsidiary in an Asiancountry. Management realizes that the success of the new subsidiary depends, in part,on the ensuing political climate in the target country. Management estimates that theprobability of success (in terms of resulting revenues of the subsidiary during its firstyear of operation) is 0.55 if the prevailing political situation is favorable, 0.30 if thepolitical situation is neutral, and 0.10 if the political situation during the year is unfavorable. Management further believes that the probabilities of favorable, neutral, andunfavorable political situations are 0.6, 0.2, and 0.2, respectively. What is the successprobability of the new subsidiary?
